Video of the day

You are here

Neo-funk, disco revivalist Jamie Lidell adds some visual sparkle to his Prince-like bounce, in the form of sequins, dance-routines and damn fine pizzazz in the video for Big Love, by director/editor Michael Carter and shot by Dustin Lane.

Forget the fact that Robyn's hit album Body Talk Pt. 2 was released three years ago. Some videos are just worth waiting for. Like one where Robyn and Snoop Dogg swap genders, strike up a motley friendship in London, practice dance moves in a teenage bedroom, tend a questionable botanical greenhouse, and ride or die together in a bright red, old-school Volvo.

Oh, CANADA. You cinematic marvels of the music video. You connoisseurs of cool. Every time whispers and rumours of a new CANADA film circulate through the creative community, we all know we're in for a treat.

The most entertaining trip to the barber's you'll ever have... Philip Andelman presents this amazing promo for Duck Sauce's It's You, translating the barbershop quartet-feel of the track to excellent effect.

Cyriak Harris's 'brain-spill' style may have suggested that creating an indie-band performance video might be a challenge too far. Well, so much for that theory. The After Effects magician-genius, gets hold of Bloc Party and deconstructs the heck out of their performance of Ratchet - until he just about redefines the performance video.

The word epic is thrown around frequently and carelessly when describing music videos, commercials and films. Sometimes it's a well deserved adjective, other times a quick trip to the local thesaurus for the 'okay' entry would be more suitable.

The return of the mighty Pixies with Bagboy unleashes a video by LA-based duo LAMAR+NIK about a young lad with a extremely well-developed appetite for destruction - involving smoke bombs, milk, balloons, and a whole lot of teenage attitude. Like the track, it's unrelenting - and very enjoyable.
